BioBags- their lunchboxes are great! Another way to use and throw away less plastic bags

We all generate garbage, its a fact of life. Some of us manage to keep the amount of trash we send to the landfills to a minimum but even then, one of the biggest ironies of reducing the amount you throw out is what you throw it out in. We seal our trash in thick plastic bags and prevent it all from naturally decomposing.

BioBags are made from corn based materials and they decompose naturally. They store and behave just like normal bags, just better.

I would say that lots of companies are doing their best to manufacture plastic bags that are better for the environment. In fact, the company I represent, Jig-A-Loo USA, Inc., has recently introduced a new line of plastic bags called EconoGreen that are made from:
100% recycled plastic
100% oxodegradable
100% recyclable.

These EconoGreen bags and drop cloths contain an additive that will completely break down within 2 years after use. Considerably less than traditional plastic bags and especially grocery bags that we often use as garbage bags.

Part of the problem with the trash that we all generate, is the bags that we put it in. They don't biodegrade. Here is a solution to putting waste into waste...biodegradable trash bags. Here are some stats:

-100% biodegradable
-100% compostable
-No polyethylene is used in the production process.
-Naturally, bags made from corn instead of polyethylene is a major advance in environmental technology.
-Only GMO free certified corn is used.
-Soy-based inks and dyes are CEN certified for restricted use of heavy metals.
-DEBIO certified for use in organic agriculture.
-Certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 specification. Meets California SB 1749 requirements.
-Shelf stable, just like paper plates or paper towels. There are no chemical additives to enhance decomposition. -The bags biodegrade naturally when expose to the earth’s elements and micro-organisms in the soil.
-They “breathe”, which allows heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This feature reduces bacterial build-up of collected waste, thus reducing odor.
-Will decompose in a controlled composting environment in 10-45 days, leaving no harmful residues behind.
-Approximate size of each bag:
23.6" x 28"
-13 Gallon Bags
-12 Bags Per Package

These products are “shelf stable”, just like paper plates or paper towels. They will not decompose until they are introduced to the earth’s elements or micro-organisms in the soil. Extended heat can make the bags feel soft and may eventually cause splitting. I recommend storage in a dry, cool area.
However, I'm not sure I'd store clothing or anything else in these.

You make waste. We all do, but now we can feel better about throwing it out, when you know at least the bag can biodegrade.

This is exactly the kind of household product that can make a big difference in your environmental impact. Since it's a corn-based biodegradable bag, it doesn't prevent your other garbage from decomposing like a traditional plastic bag would. So, if you're having trouble getting into composting, or if you just don't want to put as much plastic in the landfill, pick these up.

BioBag waste bags are trash bags made from corn products that in the right environment, will biodegrade in 3 months leaving no harmful residue. Plastic bags take much longer to break down, if they do break down at all. BioBags can also be used for food storage as they allow moisture to evaporate through the walls of the bags keeping produce fresher/crisper.
